taking me back.

i have dreamed of
you taking me back;
you said i was
your wildflower in the desert
your light in the dark
your hope in the sadness
but
you always ran for the desert
danced in the darkness
swam in your sadness until
you drowned.

i have plead that you would
take me back
hold me tight
love me always
but
you have led me on
read my song
done me wrong.

you said that I had
stars in my eyes when
i looked at you
grace in my arms when
i took to you
faith in my heart when
i forsook the truth
but

i didn't know that you had
eyes for her when
you looked at me
memories of her when
you took to me
love for her when
you said that
you loved
me.

so now I am taking me back;
the smell of my skin and
the spark in my eyes,
the light of my soul and
the tireless tries to
reach you, to
heal you, to
love you so well, to
teach you the
hope that would
lessen your hell.

i'm taking my flowers and
taking my seeds
i'm taking the lockets and
taking the keys
i'm taking the kindness and
taking the peace
i'm taking back all of
the pieces of me.

it's amazing how
pain turned love into
anger in the time that
two tears fell from
these blue eyes
(and just like that
she was gone).

how dare you let
me love you for
so long while you
masqueraded me as her
i hate you for
disrespecting me and
taking advantage of my
naive and stupid affection
for you.

who the fuck do you think you are?
​
today is the day that
i take me back;
these are the last words
i will ever
write for
you.
